If you’re anything like me, I hate really slow games. RPGs, Their okay, but visual novels, I actually like to get some gameplay, please. But one game that really interested me is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. And the concept seems pretty good. Play as a defense attorney and defend the innocent and expose the guilty. Also, say objection a lot. Enough chit chat, onto the review! Graphics: 7/10 This game’s graphics are pretty decent, but not at all the best on the DS (Yes, I know this is a Gameboy advance game, but I’m Amurican, eating cheeseburgers and misspelling American so it fits a southern accent). All the sprites for the characters look alright, but sometimes something doesn’t look to polished and it looks out of place. Sound: 9/10 Where do I begin? This game’s soundtrack is amazing. The music got revamped when it was ported to the DS and it shows, this game sounds beautiful. All the music is perfectly placed to fit the mood (sometimes) and the music will stick in your head for weeks. The sounds though are kinda goofy, but eh, whatcha gonna do? Addictiveness: 6/10 Another so so category. On one hand, this game can keep you coming back to complete one more trial, and on the other, sometimes some parts are some excruciatingly hard I want to throw my DS across the room. Story: 9/10 The game’s story is the real beef and potatoes, if you know what I mean (America). You are Phoenix Wright, a rookie defense attorney. You live in California and you are inexperienced in the field. You work your way through trials and through murders to uncover the truth! (I’m sorry I kept it on the light side, no spoilers ) One of the only grudges I have with the story is the fact that the game is set in California. As in the U S of A. This game is obviously Japanese. It doesn’t even try to hide it. Depth 7/10 This game has 5 cases you can play through. The first you can blast through it in like 10-20 minutes in the first go. The later ones get… increasingly challenging. The last one I’m not even done with (I know that this is “cheating” not playing through the whole game, but I got enough from the graphics, story, and Sound from the first 4 cases. And the 5th case wasn’t in the GBA version sooo….. America), Difficulty: 9/10 This game gets hard, and kinda fast. I think it’s my fault because that whole “remember everything, it’s important” philosophy. The first 2 cases are easy, but the others are more difficult. I honestly got stuck and had to look up a walkthrough. (please don’t condemn me). Overall: 7.8/10 I love this game, don’t get me wrong. This is my first visual novel I have ever played. The sound and story are top notch, but some things like the difficulty and some visual quirks keep it from scoring any higher. Join me next time when I dig up an amazing game…. Hehehe…. OBEJECTION,That was a horrible Shovel Knight pun. SHUSH, Nick, they mustn’t know…. If you’re anything like me, I hate really slow games.
